Reminder:

Community Blood Drive – April 17

PPD is proud to partner with Blood Assurance to host a Community Blood Drive on Thursday, April 17 at Generation Church in Portland.
Blood donations are critical to saving lives every day. One unique aspect of Blood Assurance is that the blood donated stays local, helping support hospitals and patients throughout Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky.

This is a great opportunity for our community to come together and help neighbors in need. Just one donation can make a life-saving difference.

Date: April 17
Location: Generation Church 960 Hwy 52 West – Portland
Time: 2pm to 730pm

We encourage everyone who is able to consider donating and helping us make this event a success.
